What are the benefits of a glass a day of Whiz Kidz Gangliosides Boosted Milk Drink for brain development in children and young people?
Gangliosides are a critical building block in children’s and young people’s brain development. Gangliosides are found in breast milk and to a lower extent cow’s milk. Whiz Kidz Gangliosides concentrate has been added to the milk powder to lift the level of gangliosides in each serve to deliver the recommended daily dose of gangliosides for healthy brain development.

What are Gangliosides?
Gangliosides are complex glycosphingolipids composed of a ceramide group bound to an oligosaccharide chain containing at least one sialic acid residue (NeuAc/NANA, a modified sugar.) Well, you did ask!!
Why are Gangliosides Important for Brain Development?
Gangliosides are most abundant in cell membranes of the nervous system where they make up approximately 10% of the total Lipid in the brain. Gangliosides are involved in a number of key events in brain development including the formation of new nerve cells (neurons), building new connections and facilitating communications between neurons. Gangliosides also play a role in the biochemical process underlying learning and memory. The level of gangliosides in the brain is positively correlated with brain growth.
In addition to these functions, gangliosides provide sources of NANA, an essential nutrient required for normal development of the brain and spinal cord.
